RC0603F333CS - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC0603F333CS is a 33 kΩ ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 0201 (0603 Metric) package format. This component is in Active product status and is designed for general-purpose resistive applications requiring moisture resistance and tight tolerance specifications. Substitute parts are evaluated when supply constraints, inventory availability, or design flexibility require alternative sourcing options while maintaining electrical and mechanical equivalence.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC0603F333CS is based on the following critical parameters that must be maintained for electrical and mechanical compatibility:

1. Resistance Value and Tolerance: Both parts must specify 33 kΩ ±1% to ensure circuit performance within design specifications.
2. Power Rating: Both parts must maintain 0.05W (1/20W) minimum power dissipation capability.
3. Package Format: Both parts must use the 0201 (0603 Metric) package to ensure PCB footprint compatibility without design modifications.
4. Composition Type: Both parts must be thick film construction to maintain stability and performance characteristics.
5. Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both parts must have MSL 1 rating to eliminate moisture reflow concerns.
6. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts must maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance for regulatory equivalence.

The CRCW020133K0FKED manufactured by Vishay Dale meets all critical substitution criteria and is therefore classified as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC0603F333CS and CRCW020133K0FKED are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, qualifying them for use in regulated manufacturing environments. The CRCW020133K0FKED offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C) and improved temperature coefficient specification (±100ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C), providing enhanced performance margins in temperature-sensitive applications. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and moisture sensitivity characteristics, enabling direct substitution at the design level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CRCW020133K0FKED replace the RC0603F333CS in a circuit design? A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (33 kΩ), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package format (0201), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), enabling direct functional substitution without design modifications.

Q: Are there package or footprint differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts use the 0201 (0603 Metric) package with identical dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm) and seated height (0.010" / 0.26mm), allowing use of identical PCB footprints without layout changes.

Q: What is the difference in temperature coefficient between these parts? A: The RC0603F333CS specifies ±250ppm/°C while the CRCW020133K0FKED specifies ±100ppm/°C. This means the Vishay part exhibits superior stability with temperature variations, beneficial in precision analog circuits or wide temperature range applications.

Q: Do both parts meet regulatory requirements? A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: Which part should be selected for extended temperature applications? A: The CRCW020133K0FKED is suitable for applications requiring operation up to 155°C, compared to the RC0603F333CS maximum of 125°C. For standard applications within -55°C to 125°C, both parts are equivalent.
